Ken and I took two trips to Ivins to get things done on our 2nd home. I can't believe I just wrote 2nd home--but I did. We are so excited to get this place up and going for our family to use. We purchased the home on 460 Coyote Way the end of May. Ken and I went down for the weekend after our purchase. We had absolutely nothing except for the few items we purchased from the previous owners. We purchased their bedroom set, a computer desk, and two mattresses for our Murphy bed's in the other bedrooms.
Mark and Rick joined us on our 2nd trip. The men painted and I ran errands the whole time. We got a lot accomplished during this trip. We painted the living room, kitchen, master bedroom and both bathrooms with two coats of paint. We also were able to paint all of the baseboards in the house. Now it is ready for carpet!
Our 3rd visit was by far the most rewarding. We were able to get our new carpet! We had some dark brown carpet installed in the hallways and living room and a lighter brown put into the bedrooms. We were finally able to be setup with the internet (wireless) so that all of our devices work plus we got a new tv. Also, our furniture was delivered. We have a sectional, entertainment center, kitchen table and chairs. It was fun for me to see the place come alive. Ken had to go back early so he missed out on seeing the furniture in place.
We have the best neighbors! They are looking after us, meeting and greeting us. It is a wonderful community--not quite a senior community but it has the feel of one as far as keeping up on everything and making your home nice. Padre lakes has a clubhouse with a pool, tennis courts and several lakes in the backyards that actually have swans and ducks. It is beautiful.
